When you look for grouse, you look for what they eat, Aspen tree buds, wild grape, Greenbriar, Beech trees and much more. Get some references on Grouse foods in the wild and learn to recognize. There is more to grouse hunting than killing grouse, hunting grouse helps you become a better naturalist.
No insult taken, whatsoever. I actually quite like the "naturalist training" aspect of undertaking a grouse hunt. Is there a particular book or series you could recommend as a reference?
